Qualomate, a SaaS startup, is aiming to achieve SOC2 compliance to enhance its security posture and build trust with its clients. The project involves assisting Qualomate in navigating the complexities of SOC2 compliance by leveraging a popular Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) platform. The goal is to ensure that Qualomate's processes and systems align with SOC2 standards, focusing on security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. Learners will apply their knowledge of information security and compliance frameworks to help identify gaps in current practices and recommend improvements. The project will involve analyzing existing policies, procedures, and controls, and suggesting enhancements to meet SOC2 requirements. This project provides a practical opportunity for learners to apply classroom knowledge in a real-world setting, focusing on a critical aspect of SaaS business operations.

The deliverables for this project include creating and improving existing policies and procedures, analyzing deficiencies in the security of various cloud platforms and creating a report on steps to remediate issues.
